Sean's going for strength.

It helps if you have an mp3 player, I don't know what I'd do without it in the cardio room when they have soap operas on the TV's ... Heh, thank ya sir... I don't really want to go below 175. Anyway, off to the gym.

Seanp156 · 05-01-2006, 12:02 PM

Not a bad workout, especially for being half sick/frustrated with my job (though maybe that frustration helps a little

)

Anyway...

BB Back Squats
45lbs x 6
135lbs x 6
165lbs x 4
185lbs x 2
205lbs x 2
225lbs x 2 - Ok, here's the deal... For some reason up to 205lbs felt very heavy, but once I got to 225lbs, I cranked up my MP3 player, and really focused thinking "This is easy, I've done it before, just keep my core and back tight... Doing this for 225 and 255 made them feel easier than my warmup sets

255lbs x 5 PB - New 5RM This used to be my 3RM back in the winter when I was 12-13lbs heavier

Glute/Ham Raise
25lbs x 8 reps PB
10lbs x 10 reps
10lbs x 10 reps

Leg Press
180lbs x 6 reps
270lbs x 4 reps (warmups to here)
360lbs x 10 reps
360lbs x 8 reps

Rack Deadlifts
135lbs x 8 reps
185lbs x 6 reps
225lbs x 4 reps
255lbs x 3 reps (warmups to here)
285lbs x 6 reps PB
275lbs x 6 reps

Leg Raises
BW x 3 sets x 10 reps

stretch

Nice work on those squats!!

Your right...an Mp3 player does help, but today at the gym they hand the Munsters playing on TV...it was an easy 30 minutes on the treadmill

fufu · 05-01-2006, 02:52 PM

great workout, very impressive.

Archangel · 05-01-2006, 02:54 PM

DeadBolt · 05-01-2006, 07:47 PM

Damn good work bro!! I see you nailed 285 on the deads! Good work! And killer squats....I envy you I can't squat for the life of me!

Seanp156 · 05-01-2006, 07:49 PM

Thanks DB, I was a little scared on the squats... When I was warming up with 165-205 I thought "Damn this feels heavy, wtf?" , but I focused really hard on 225 and up and it worked out !

You can only see the top two

Maybe genetically I only have a 2 pack and a "v"

Seanp156 · 05-03-2006, 01:07 PM

Grrr missed 215 again... I hate BB flat pressing... Though there are a lot of factors that could have caused me to miss it... Still recovering from being sick, calorie deficit, the rep before was slightly out of control etc...

Weight was 176 today... I think I'm going to start slowly increasing cals again until I get to about 3000 per day (which is about maintenance for me), then just sit there for about 5 months.

Flat BB Bench
45lbs x 8
96lbs x 6
135lbs x 3
155lbs x 1
175lbs x 1
195lbs x 1 (warmups to here)
215lbs x 0

I didn't want to stop after the miss, so I did this...

Suspended bench press
185lbs x 1 PB for suspended Took a decent amount of time to get up

VERY slow eccentric, fast concentric presses
155lbs x 5 reps

BB Bent Rows
45lbs x 10 reps
95lbs x 6 reps
115lbs x 4 reps (warmups to here)
135lbs x 3 sets x 10 reps (this is the most consistent I've gotten 135 for high reps, set wise)

Standing BB Press (left shoulder felt a little tight, so I took these easy... Was going to start with 115 for working sets, but I didn't)
45lbs x 8 reps
85lbs x 6 reps (warmups to here)
95lbs x 8 reps
105lbs x 5 reps

Lat Pulldowns
110lbs x 6 reps (warmup)
130lbs x 10 reps
130lbs x 8 reps
120lbs x 8 reps (lats were screaming at this point between these and BB rows)

Static BB DOH Holds
205lbs x 19 or 20 seconds
205lbs x 13 seconds

Farmer's walks
60's x down the aisle and back
60's x down the aisle and back

15 mins elliptical
~200 cals
1.46 miles
10/20 resistance
_|-|_|-|_ course

rotar cuff exercises/prehab

stretching

fufu · 05-03-2006, 01:20 PM

I see you did some static holds. Very good.

Seanp156 · 05-03-2006, 01:21 PM

I did them last week too =p

Burner02 · 05-03-2006, 01:34 PM

how long did itr take to do all that? heckuva workout!

Not very long... I do the warmup sets pretty quickly, and most of the exercises only have 2-3 working sets...

Thank ya miss, yeah I sometimes have somewhat a view of the weights, but watching people is boring to me unless they're A) Total retards, B) Really strong or C) A hot girl

Thanks Arch. Yeah, I think I'll keep doing static holds for a while... I don't want to neglect my DOH grip, but I won't want my deads and rack deads to have crappy workouts because of my grip strength either. I'm not sure I'll go for a 1RM next time, I'll probably do something different... I probably should've done something different this week, but I thought I had it

. I felt really strong up to 195 too...

Happens to me ALL the time. When I did box squats the other day 295 felt heavy as shit. I got all angry and did some visualization. I focused on what I needed to do: "KEEP TIGHT; SPREAD THE FLOOR; FIRE YOUR GLUTES; PUSH YOUR HEAD BACK INTO YOUR TRAPS; EXPLOSE QUICKLY AND DON'T SLOW UP; etc." I got the next two attempts up pretty solidly. 1RMs, or really any heavy training for that matter, are a serious mental game.
